Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Very disappointing

Tanya Bright sold me my house 10 years ago and acted as house agent in my recent move. During that time she was generally helpful and professional but her attitude towards me in the last few moments of being in my beloved home was inexcusable. I was shouted at and insulted in front of the new owners and made to feel wholly inadequate - her complaint being that the kitchen was not clean enough, in spite of my paying a cleaner for a whole day beforehand. I was deeply shaken and hurt. There are better ways of communicating and certainly more professional ones.

I thank you for your comments and I apologise if you feel that I was not courteous to you all times. Your recollection of the day’s events and the recollections of myself and the new owners are not quite the same. These are the comments that I received from the new owners:
« L'agente a négocié la vente avec tact, ténacité et professionnalisme malgré les caprices de la vendeuse. Nous sommes pleinement satisfaits.”
"The agent negotiated the sale with tact, tenacity, and professionalism despite the seller's whims. We are completely satisfied."
I did everything possible to meet your expectations and remain available for any further discussion.

Great communication easy to deal with

Great communication easy to deal with, the agency shows professionalism from start to finish with full transparency of costs and process. This is the second time we have used the agents and would definitely use again.

Highly recommend if house buying in France

After finding our house through Berthou Immobilier the process could not have been soother with Alan, our agent, guiding us every step of the way from start to finish. I cannot recommend the Agency and Alan enough if you should find your property with them they went above and beyond.

Excellent service

On the sale of my house in Objat, Berthou Immo were very positive estate agents who solved problems, kept me calm and kept the process moving.
They are also bilingual which was a big help with technical points.
Excellent service. I would strongly recommend them.

The only way to buy property in France...!

I have bought and sold property in the UK, the USA and in Australia and have never, I repeat never, experienced such extraordinarily personal and professional assistance and service as I have done working with Tanya and Allan Bright at Limousin Property Agents. Right from our very first enquiry through to the successful completion of our purchase of a wonderful property in Coussac-Bonneval, they have exceeded expectations at every level. Tanya, with whom we primarily dealt, is amazingly energetic, great fun, hugely detail minded, and very thorough - she was with us every step of the way - and all of this during a pandemic! I doubt very much that our purchase experience would have been as positive, uncomplicated, enjoyable, and effective as it has been without her invaluable input. Oh, and did I mention that Tanya and Allan will definitely be sitting in our new dining room to celebrate our new property purchase with us when we're able to visit France.

What a fantastic service ...

From beginning to completion we were so pleased with everything Alan at Berthou Immobilier - Coussac Bonneval did to make selling our French home a good experience. Having little French language it was nice to have all the worries taken away so we could concentrate on packing up to move back to the UK. We can’t praise Alan and Tanya enough and have been happy to recommend them to friends who are wanting to sell this year. Thank you.

An energetic, efficient and personal service

We had a much loved holiday home in the Dordogne that needed selling as our children had left home and our lives had
got busier. Most agents were downbeat about our chances with Brexit etc but Tanya was amazing. She was a whirlwind of energy and efficiency with marketing, advice and viewings. When we had a deal, she guided is through at every step to make it as stress free as possible - and all in the middle of the pandemic. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

competence presence efficiency nice team

we had visited several private homes without success
our first contact with the agency took place in june 2020 with Christophe Berthou, whom we thank for his availability and advice
we were supposed to visit a property, we visited five of them.
we were able on that day to get closer to what was right for us.
It was with Tanya Bright that we was succeeded.
We certainly liked the house right away, the charm of welcoming, the vitality of this sparkling professional to contribute to seduction.
Tanya has accompanied us throughout this adventure with kindness and professionalism always available and responsive.
what more can we say?
competence, presence ,efficiency , nice team....

Great service in Dealing with the sale of property from…

Dealing with the sale of property from England during a global pandemic is not an easy task, coupled with the fact that I was selling my property with an unreasonable ex-partner. But the task was made extremely easy by the hard work and great attention to detail and the excellent service i received from Tanya and her team. i will not hesitate to recommend them to everyone. They have worked so tirelessly on my behalf for which i will be eternally grateful.

Our experience with Limousin Property…

Our experience with Limousin Property Agents could not have been better. Tanya helped us understand the French property buying process, answered a hundred questions on the property, the area, living in France and she went above and beyond to sort things out for us. We felt like we had a partner in our adventure. I would not hesitate to recommend this company, all property agents should be like this.

Multi lingual agency that really knew the process. It might sound obvious but a lot of things that need to be done are somewhat arcane. Good advice given about how to prepare the house for sale.

It is true that the French system differs significantly from the UK and some of the laws regarding taxes are difficult to understand which is why we are here to help
